Chapter 1092: The First Essentials of Liberation
divlign="ener">
His remark made Elder Kologa thoughtful: "In this way, there are indeed similarities between the two realms. When you say that, I also think of another thing. A friend of mine lived in the swamp where the shovel-toothed elephant lived, and because the shovel teeth were easy to shovel the soft grass to eat, the lower lip and the lower lip teeth were completely in the shape of a large shovel. Every day, you can eat with your mouth out, and you can sleep when you lie down, just like living in heaven, and life is very comfortable. The deer living next to it, although they also live comfortably, are squeezed to the edge of the aquatic grass, which is much worse. But in a flash, the swamp waters quickly receded, and in less than fifty years they were gone, and the swamp became dry land, and its grass was hard and difficult to shovel, and the jaw shovel of the shovel-toothed elephant became a scourge that hindered eating, and within a few years it became extinct in the area. On the other hand, the deer of Mizusawa survived because they had no shovel teeth and could eat dry grass. ”
Dong Haozi suddenly asked: "If these shovel-toothed elephants can immediately change their appearance like the druids, put down their big shovel teeth, and change to resemble a deer's mouth, will they quickly perish." Elder Kologa replied, "Of course not. But how did they change their natural form in a hurry?"
Dong Hezi nodded, "Yes, the reason why they have the strange form of shovel teeth is because their ancestors dealt with things in this way and achieved success. So the pattern of success was passed on to them. The reason why people have emotions or ways of doing things, such as joy and sorrow, sorrow and cheerfulness, impatience and steadiness, and playfulness, is because their ancestors were successful because they passed it on to others, or because they were growing up to be successful in these patterns. But the shovel-toothed elephant prospered because of the shovel tooth, and because of the shovel tooth perished. People also succeed because of various patterns, and they fail because of various patterns. ”
This brings us to the second point: a person sticks to a model because it has worked. But what makes you successful, changing conditions may make you defeated. Be good at using your own mode, any pattern is a treasure, and if you are not good at using your own mode, any pattern is a curse. Things are always changing, but it's hard for people to get out of the existing model, and even know that it might be better to abandon the existing model, but they can't change it. This is the table of enslavement. ”
"Human instincts, habits, accepted social ideologies, etc., often cannot keep up with the changes in society. This is where a lot of contradictions come from. Learn to reasonably let go of your current instincts, habits, and accepted social ideologies, and remove unnecessary distractions. It is the birthplace of conflict resolution. Therefore, 'letting go' is the beginning of liberation. Just like the shovel-toothed elephant, if it can quickly abandon its shovel tooth form, there is still a possibility that it will not be extinguished. But they can't let it go. Many people also don't understand as much as they do: the applicability of any model is limited, and nothing is absolutely constant. This is the second bullet point. ”
Sherbon next to him didn't know what the two of them were talking about, as a person who was accustomed to social interactions, he instinctively interjected: "Even so, there are some things that have remained unchanged since ancient times." For example, earthworms crawl in the dirt, spiders build webs on trees, males are beautiful and females are dim, and ~~~~"
I have seen earthworms that do not eat mud, but eat trees, and burrow in trees all day long; Have you ever seen a male bird beautiful and a female dim, hahahaha~~~~ We have a pheasant-sized bird in our swamp. They are just male birds dull and female birds beautiful. When the time comes, they are not males who dance and fight to win the hearts of females. Rather, several females dance and fight with the hearts of many males, once mated, it is not the male who leaves the nest to chase other females, but the female who lays a few eggs and leaves the nest to chase other males, and those eggs are not hatched by the female, but by the male."
"Huh?" Sherbon couldn't believe it at all: "This~~~This~~~ men are inferior to women, but ~~~~ they~~~ How did they all fall down?" Kologa, who was towering on the other side, just replied: "It's true that the first time I saw it, you were so surprised." But that's exactly what happened. Spiders live in water rather than trees, and wild birds have reversed personalities but live well. What you think is inevitable is not necessarily just that you are accustomed to it, and you treat it as inevitable. There is no such 'necessity' in nature."
Dong Hezi suddenly added: "Have you ever thought about it: when a person gets it, he uses happiness to deal with it, when he loses it, he uses sadness to deal with it, when he faces threats, he uses arrogance to deal with weakness, he uses irritability to deal with obstacles, and he uses pride to face shun." ”
"Have you ever thought that you don't have to deal with joy when you get, you don't have to deal with sadness when you lose, you don't have to deal with fear, you don't have to deal with weakness with arrogance, you don't have to deal with obstacles with irritability, you don't have to face with pride. In fact, there are no such provisions"
And people, to deal with it with joy, temporarily succeeded, anyway, if they go on, they think: it is necessary to use joy. ”
And people, who cope with loss with grief and succeed for the time being, think that they must use grief anyway. ”
And people, who deal with threats with fear, have succeeded for the time being, but anyway, if they continue to mix, they think: fear must be used. ”
And people, who deal with weakness with arrogance, succeed for the time being, anyway, if they go on to mix, they think: they must use humility. ”
And people, who deal with obstacles with irritability, succeed for the time being, and anyway, if they continue to mix, they think that they must use irritability. ”
"And people, to deal with Shun with pride, temporarily succeeded, anyway, if they go on, they think: it is necessary to use pride. ”
"Just like the shovel-toothed elephant, it used its shovel teeth to deal with the aquatic plants, and it succeeded for the time being, but anyway, if it went down, its body thought: it must use shovel teeth. So it is inherited from generation to generation, and the generation is successful, and the shovel tooth pattern is getting stronger and stronger. But the world is impermanent, and when the water recedes, only dry grass remains. Although it is also grass, the shovel teeth are difficult to break, so the shovel teeth become a scourge. ”
So the third point is that people can succeed by responding to obstacles with irritability. But irritability cannot break all obstacles, just as a shovel tooth cannot break all grass. On the other hand, aquatic weeds can be broken by shovel teeth or by the deer's mouth, and obstacles can be dealt with by irritability or non-irritability. The same is true of other joys and gains, sorrows and losses, fears and threats, triumph and smoothness, and so on. Instinctively, people mistakenly believe that a certain situation must be dealt with in a fixed and unchanging pattern. ”
In fact, there is no such necessity, and people mistakenly think that there is such a necessity. If this is necessary, the spider in the tree should not be able to change itself into a spider in the water, and the wild bird should not be interchangeable and perpetuate the male and female roles. But spiders can change themselves, from the original avoidance to deal with water, to the skill to deal with water. Wild birds can also change themselves, from being passive in the swamp to being active in the swamp to being active in the swamp. This is 'creation', and the so-called creation is not that there is another master outside who is manipulating it, but that we have the ability to change. The body can change its structural patterns to cope with the environment, and the mind can change its thinking patterns to cope with things. It is this difference in nature, the birth and death of a qiē, that makes me understand a 'non-inevitable' truth. ”
This seems to make sense, but it is a strange feeling, and Shebuun's head is a little awkward: "Well~~~~But ~~~But ~~~~" This made the thin and tall elder Kologa on the opposite side impatient: "It seems that you haven't seen it with your own eyes, and you don't know the mystery." Come, I'll let you see you once" Yan Bi grabbed someone's shoulders with his big hand and pulled it to the sky - it turned out that the thick leather shoes he was wearing also had the effect of 'flying wing shoes', which could run in the air and castrate like the wind, and 'whew~~~~' rushed to the side hillside with Sheboun, pointed to the following place and said, "Look what is that?"
It was ~~~ a mountain eagle that landed between the zigzag trees and the horizontal and vertical eight shrubs, and it seemed to have an ordinary coat color and was not very unusual. But the problem is that it flies through the mountains and forests to chase mice, and instead of flying to catch mice, the eagle that runs around and drills into the ravine like a mountain chicken sees that its steps are vigorous and steady, not at all like other eagles, and it is almost lame when it lands.
Elder Kologa, who was carrying him, said, "The ancestor of this mountain eagle was actually an ordinary eagle, good at flying and unable to gallop on the ground. However, the mountains and forests here are twists and turns, and the shrubs are crisscrossed, and the pikas are running in the middle, and the flight capture will be blocked by the branches and hard grass. Some of the eagles could not be caught and left, but the ancestors of this kind of eagle remained, and gradually the talons of the offspring were not bent very much, the range of movement of the toes also increased, and there were other adjustments, so it became the current picture of 'good at drilling in the ravine'. ”
He flew back with a somewhat stunned Shebuun and said, "There are no rules in the mountains and forests: you can only use flying to deal with me. On the other hand, these surviving eagles have no self-stipulation: I can only fly to deal with the mountains and forests. That's why this phenomenon has been achieved. For example, if you encounter an obstacle, you respond with irritability. But have you ever thought that obstacles don't dictate: you can only deal with me with irritability? And you actually have the ability not to be irritable in dealing with obstacles."
Seeing that Sherbun was just 'ah~~oh~~~mm~~' making a dumbfounded voice, he said loudly: "You still don't understand??? if you find that dealing with obstacles with irritability is not only not beneficial, but will make the situation worse, then simply don't be irritable to deal with obstacles."
And Dong Hezi below them looked up and smiled: "You don't have to be in such a hurry. It was hard for him to figure it out for a while. This is the normal condition of human beings, and as long as people are accustomed to knowing the 'appearance of things' born of God as the things themselves, then they will not understand this matter. You have to take your time. ”
As he was talking, he suddenly noticed that the falling Shebuun was a little different, so he stretched out his hand and greeted, "This little brother, come over here." As soon as they came over, they grabbed one of their hands, touched it carefully and said with a light smile: "Oh~~~~ It's a spirit skin." ”
